Looks like a good place to find the creeper.

I have windows like that in my house...

hey so I was there today but couldn't find a way in, we took a lot of cool pics of the outside but found no apparent way to get inside. Everything is covered in 1" plywood except a lot of the 2nd floor windows. You can get onto the roof out back where the fire was but I didn't check it out and the integrity of the roof looked kinda iffy. does anyone have any clue's about any entrances??? I'm not into graffiti and breaking shit at all

first poor innocent calvin and hobbes, and now snoopy!! agh fond childhood cartoons/memories are continuing to become demented! ><

it looks like it's gonna just float through the wall, like it's a ghost bath..

Nope... 24mm lens. I haven't posted anything with the 12mm yet! ;-)

jeez, at first glance the piece of roof in the upper right side looked like a flying saucer :O

You do realize that this place is full of Asbestos? I hope you wear full respirators when in there. The air is worse than Ground Zero.

i found some great information online today from 2005 on iron lungs and polio. the title of the web article is "Survivors to Revisit the Polio Scare." you can see the rest of the article, if interested, in their 2005 archive section: http://www.childrenshospital.org/newsroom
the article publication date is March 10, 2005.

here is the paragraph i would like to quote from the site, and share with you all:

"Inside the iron lung
The so-called iron lung was the first effective treatment for patients so severely paralyzed they couldn't breathe. First used in 1928 in an 8-year-old girl with polio at Children's Hospital Boston, it consisted of a tank made by a local tinsmith and a pair of vacuum cleaner blowers. As the machine breathed for her, the girl revived and later asked for ice cream. Later, as demand grew, hospitals moved to room-sized respirators. ''I had space for four patients all sticking their heads out from this room with their bodies inside,'' wrote Children's physician James Wilson, ''and we could get inside with them and care for them.'' Clinicians also gave care through portholes, initially purchased from a Boston shipyard; if a porthole was opened at the wrong moment, the patient would have his breath knocked out of him. Former patients can describe living in respirators for months on end, never leaving to be bathed or changed, eating flat on their backs, relying on nurses to feed them and mirrors to see around them. During power outages, hospital staff - even doctors - took turns pumping the respirators with a bellows."

Crawl spaces for getting to pipes, heating areas, etc.

At Westborough state we have a similar system under the building. You can still walk around down there.

wow, that link showing the before/after images is great. It's creepy how it use to look, so creepy looking.

I was there last night for like 30 seconds before my girlfriend freaked out and we left. Didn't someone say there were motion detectors in the driveway? If that's the case it would probably be best to get dropped off or at least park somewhere else and walk.
Even if you walked in the cops aren't gonna search the whole building so you might as well just get inside quick. and hide

interresting how you got the floor and ceiling in one shot. Did you blend it ?
